I really enjoyed the video. I will look forward to seeing the house progress. It will be beautiful and I know you are proud. Lots of hard work in the very hot sun…wow! Good luck.

what an awesome experience to watch construction of a home in a country where everything is so labor intensive. Please continue to supply us with videos on the construction process as it progresses. :^)

Hola Gringos,
I am truly happy for you guys down there,your place looks great …more than great !
I was wondering if when they put your roof together, if they cemented the blocks together as they layed them? And do you think those cement rails are available in the states? i love the idea’s. I am going to try and build a small version using blocks and cement. I live in Oklahoma “Tornado alley ” and more homes should be built this way!
Thank you for the inspriation…..
God Bless

Dear Working Gringos,
We purchased a casa on calle 55 in Santiago two years ago……and let me tell you ,we have been going through a nightmare. The “contractor/architect/engineer” has taken $, tore up the house, demolished two rooms and now hasdisappeared! Ouch.
If you get a chance could you forward some info. to us on names of reliable and trustworthy people that might be able to set our dream back on track?
Thanks for your help.

Wow! Your guys wear SHOES??? Ours are barefoot or wear plastic flip flops. I recognize the blok, armex, bulto tras bulto de cemento, (no cal?), grava and polvo. I have the same video of the concrete mixing. What an amazing SCALE though! What a grand home!
